DISTRIBUTED DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT NODE MODULE AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH
First Claim
1. A digital rights management (DRM) node module for use in a node of a public data network comprising:
- a node data module that stores DRM data associated with a plurality of digital files, the DRM data including a plurality of DRM identifiers;
a packet monitoring module, coupled to the node data module, that receives the plurality of DRM identifiers from the node data module, that receives packets containing incoming content and compares the incoming content to the DRM identifier, and that generates event data when the incoming content matches at least one of the DRM identifiers; and
a node reporting module, coupled to the packet monitoring module, that receives the event data, and that generates node report data based on the event data.
